I am sorry that unhappy people find it necessary to leave such long negative reviews. Every member of my household has been a patient at Family Physicians at one time or another during the last 20 years. My mother was a patient there until she was 92 . My husband and I have been patients there since 1999. My dear friend and our foster son both used the same offices while each of them lived with us. We have dealt with Drs. Daniel and Tamara Clang, Dr. Nwizu, Dr. Haskins, Dr Stoddard, and more. We have been comfortable and were treated with respect. We have confidence that these professionals have our best interest at heart and know much more than we do about medicine. I am not saying that I don't ask questions at times. I do, because I think that is an important part of working with our physicians. I realize that anyone can have an uncomfortable experience in a medical office. After all who really wants to be there anyway. Please do not let one negative review or experience carry too much weight in your decision about a place to take a loved on or yourself for health care. read more

Dr. Nwizu has been my doctor for about two years now and let me tell you, I am NOT planning on going to any other doctor. Him and his assistant are simply amazing. They are great at what they do and I recommend going to him if you're planning on switching doctors! read more

My mother moved to Colorado and I set her up for a first time appt. with a Dr. Nwizu. She is on Medicare and I am documented as her personal representative since she speaks little English. Much to our surprise, Dr. Nwizu was rude and belligerent, and within 5 minutes I realized he was trying to scam my Mom to sign on for unnecessary tests! I took her there to get a refill of her thyroid medicine and Dr. Nwizu agreed to give her a blood test, and write her a new prescription. But then he insisted that he wanted to check her cholesterol. I told him she had that done recently and all was good. He said that I needed to trust him to treat her as his new patient! I nicely agreed. But, then, he started insisting she needed a mammogram, and I said she had that done and did not need it. He would not listen to me, it was his way or no way! He again said that I needed to trust him as her doctor. Then, suddenly he brought up a pneumonia vaccine and insisted she needed it. I was getting irritated because I could see he was manipulative and refusing to listen to me or my Mom. I firmly said no, she will not take that, and does not need that at that time. He argued with me and would not take NO for an answer. I felt he was simply trying to rake in $ for the clinic, and had no care about my Mom's needs or previous doctor visits and care. All these "extra" and "unnecessary" tests would cost my Mom, who lives on $800 a month, quite a bit in doctor bills! But this guy was going for the gold...next he brings up a colonoscopy! I told him she did not need another colonoscopy as she had one done 3 yrs prior, yet he argues with me. I said, "Let's just stick to the thyroid at this time, as that is the reason for the visit." He continued to manipulate, and said, "If your mother spoke English I would be able to convince her!" Next he snarled, "You have been contentious with me since you arrived, and have refused to let me give her even a blood test!" I nicely corrected him and told him that was not true, that I had agreed with him to check her blood for thyroid and cholesterol, but that she simply did not need those other tests. He then got more rude and growled, "Well, if you can't trust me to treat your mom as her doctor then I suggest you find another doctor!" Unwilling to be manipulated by this doctor who did not care a whit about my mother, and whose sole goal was to scam her and me for procedures she did not need, I jumped up, and said, "Fine, that is what we will do," and we walked out! I complained to the front desk and later called and talked to the manager. I asked that they remove the bill since my mother did not get treated, and it was he who told me to get another doctor if I refused to have those tests done for my Mom. The manager said she would talk to the billing department but could not promise me the bill would be removed! Bad business! My Mom has every right to refuse procedures she does not need, and I have every right as her representative to protect her from being "taken." What a horrible Family Practice. I am not sure if Dr. Nwizu is told to try and get patients to sign up for unnecessary tests by the clinic to make money, or if he did this on his own. But, it was obvious we were being pushed and manipulated to agree to costly procedures that were not needed, and he outright refused to treat my Mom unless we agreed to let him schedule these unnecessary procedures. read more
